i think hbf inducers are safer, if there is a potent hbf inducer; thalassemia could be a drug based disease as any other disease (other than a transfusion dependent disease which is the major cause of the most serious co-morbidities in thalassemia). antioxidants role in preventing apoptosis and red cell death may help in parallel to HBF induction. but this needs alarge scale of researches to get the best formulation with the best intense dose to achieve both aims.

I think gene therapy is the only solution for patients with thalassemia. Because after gene therapy the patient does not need to transplants or medications province the proportion of iron in the blood or other medications. Because after gene therapy patient recover from thalassemia. :rolleyes

I think cord blood storage is the best option. Dont they say that prevention is better than cure. Especially now that its available in Pakistan, every parent should get it done for every one of their child.
